Yes, it uses a cal 191. I suspect the one you have has a reprinted dial. |

Because the tile is far too fresh for an 80-year-old watch. You could argue I guess that it’s a amazing survivor. |

amazing survivor, see no indication of a re-print subdial hands won't be an easy find, especially the running seconds to clarify, ref. 785 started out w/ a Valjoux VZHC/72C in 2944, moved to Venus 191 in 1950 |
